Description

Given that documents can be 'soft' deleted / deleted with auditing data by updating the document to include the _deleted property, it would be incredibly useful if there were a way to access these documents in a map function. Otherwise it is very difficult to find the auditing data - even more so if the original ids are unknown.

I was thinking along the lines of a view query parameter 'include_deleted', but don't really mind how this is implemented, as long as it is there.
